As the daughter of a pastor, my daddy led me to faith in Jesus at age five. My trust was shattered at age 2-8 with incest by my grandfather & clergy sexual assault!
The stress & trauma’s plunged me into deep depression, denial resulting in PTSD & frightening nightmare’s, memory blocks in school & hormone shots to begin my menstrual cycle.
Raped at 18 & married at 20 we struggled to conceive, so we adopted our first born. I realized I was trying to run from myself & the demon’s from my past!

When I chose to face & forgive the pastor, God began to release decade’s of pain!
At that moment I realized forgiveness would never erase my past but could become my passionate purpose as I grieved my many losses allowing the ember of hatred leave my soul & be empowered to live free! Unmasking my pain it’s in the telling that those secret’s no longer hold power over me!

My Advice

Support is very necessary for a survivor to heal soul wounds to be free from shame, blame & bondage. SHAME SAYS I DID A BAD THING! BLAME SAYS I AM A BAD PERSON! We need to be like Jesus reaching to the least of these, Cry with them, believe in them to help unmask their pain!
